Gum Disease Treatment
Gum issues can develop without causing any discomfort initially. Some slight gum irritation, bleeding from brushing, swelling or bad breath might look insignificant but can become a symptom of a more serious issue, gum disease.
At Bombay Dental Specialities, we pay attention to addressing the source of the issue while ensuring that your treatment experience is as comfortable as possible. During consultation and oral examination, our experts gather information about your symptoms, assess the condition of your gums and provide clear instructions on necessary measures for your gum care.
First, we conduct an extensive oral examination and assess the condition of your gums, teeth and surrounding structures under the gum line. This way, we can identify the stage of your gum issue and choose the appropriate treatment method. Moreover, we discuss your symptoms in order to ensure that you know what to expect from your visit.
Should plaque and tartar formation be present near the gum line, we can recommend professional dental cleaning to remove build-ups and reduce irritation. If there is infection under the gums, scaling and root planing or deep cleaning may be performed to clean the area and smoothen the roots of the teeth.
In case of more advanced problems, periodontal care may be required to eliminate the infection and protect the tissues and the bone near your teeth. For some patients, laser-assisted treatment may be performed as well.
After completing the treatment, you would need to visit us regularly for follow-up appointments, monitoring of the condition of your gums, removal of new build-ups and consultations regarding daily care of your mouth.
Early gum disease treatment can bring some relief to your oral discomfort and prevent further damage to your natural teeth. You will notice the reduction of bleeding, swelling, sensitivity and control of the bacteria causing the infection.
Moreover, treatment of gum disease can prevent loss of bone tissue and tissues which provide the teeth with proper fixation, which is significant because of the risk of developing tooth mobility and even tooth loss caused by the progression of the gum issue. Additionally, elimination of infection can help you deal with bad breath by removing bacterial formation around the gum line.
Regular gum care can make brushing and flossing easier for you and allow you to maintain the necessary level of oral hygiene.
Is gum disease treatment painful?
Gum treatments are generally comfortable. Depending on the stage of your issue, we may use various treatment techniques and local anaesthesia if needed.
Can bleeding gums be treated?
Yes, they can. Bleeding is typically associated with inflammation. With the removal of the source and improvement in cleaning, it can be reduced significantly.
Can gum disease cause tooth loss?
Yes, it can. Should gum disease progress, it can damage the bone and tissues holding your teeth. Early treatment helps avoid this outcome.
How often should I come for gum maintenance?
This depends on your gum condition and risk factors. We will develop a personalised recall plan after the initial treatment.
